1.11.11 part 3 Learn, Do and Experience the triad of success and happiness
Apply mindfulness to breathing as follows: Accept and allow each breath feeling it without, changing it, controlling it, expecting anything, comparing it, based on the past, or future, or feeling pleasant, negative or neutral, just allowing and accepting each breath feeling the physical sensations, without interference from the thinking mind.
The actual steps are:
1. Sit quietly and be still and become aware of your breathing sensations as they occur in the present moment.
2. Try to focus of feeling the breathing sensations over and over, again and again.
3. Sooner rather than later something will distract you off this feeling focus on the breathing sensations, when this happens notice the distraction allowing it to come, allowing it to be for a moment, and then letting it go, to go back to feeling the breathing sensations.
4. Do this over and over, and again and again, feel the breathing sensations in the present moment, and moment by moment, until distracted, deal with the distracted, let it go and return back to the breathing.
By sitting quietly and still you are centering, balancing and stabilizing the body which will lead to the same happening to the mind.
Center on the present moment, balance on the feeling of the breathing sensations, and stabilize by returning back to the breathing when you are distracted.
What does this do and what will this lead to we will discuss next, increasing mindfulness, concentration, calm, relaxation, steadiness and peace of mind, leading to increased knowing and caring, leading to increased connections and sharing.
